Description

DESCRIPTION:

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION: Building: tiling of tiles, platelets, stones, floors and walls. State of the prior art highlighting the technical problem posed:

Currently the manufacture of tiling panels, pads, and others are made in the factory or in workshops. Each type of panel produced requires a mold. The panels are generally made in grids or molds adapted to each type of tile format and panel to achieve. Cutting is done on the site by cutting the panel.

The invention makes it possible to produce several types of non-rigid panels with different tile formats, in the same mold, with panels having or not different cuts and manufactured directly on the workstation.

In order to offer a product suitable for laying as a diverse format, quick to manufacture, avoiding palletizing, transport, we have designed a site-specific manufacturing system, easy to set up, not expensive, allowing the manufacture fast of various products made in the same mold and ready to pose without any waiting.

Benefits of the system:

A ùManufacture of Workstation Panels B ùProcessing Speed C ùPacking Speed D ùAdaptability to the Size and Size of the Panel E ùFactory Production Cost F ùPlay Price

The manufacture of the panels on the work station makes it possible to save on transport, on palletization and on time. 2948597 -2-

On-site fabrication allows for the fabrication of panels including the cuts (at the top of the panel, at the bottom of the panel, on one, two, three, or four sides of the panel and put them down immediately.

5 B -The speed of manufacture example: panel of 90 x 60 cm. with earthenware 14.7 x 14.7 manufacturing time 13 m2 hours following tests. Panel of 93 x 60 cm. With earthenware 14.7 x 14.7 including listell 14.7 x 2.7 cm. , time of manufacture-10 tion 11 m2heure following tests.

The speed of the manufacturing system on construction sites allows us to reduce the price per m2 of the product.

C ùThe rapidity of application example: panel 90 x 15 60 cm. with earthenware 14.7 x 14.7 pre-sawing time, 4 to 5 m2 per hour (without grouting to human author) by a tiler. Example: 80 x 40 panel placed on the floor with 19.8 x 19.8 cm tiles. about 6 to 7 m2 per 20 hours (without grouting) by a tiler.

Adaptability to the size and size of the panel The manufacturing system adapts easily to several tile formats thanks to the dis-positive (addition or removal of steels allowing to integrate in the same panel the different for-mat of tiles and to make panels of different sizes, including the predisposed cuts in the panels.

E - Construction Site Price

30 The cost of manufacturing on construction sites is cheaper than the workshop solution, because it saves the transport of panels made in the workshop, because the transport is larger, requires loading and unloading plus a transport or two, to get to the workstation, and the palletization of the panels is more expensive than that practiced on the workstation. 2948597 -3-

In addition, the tile packages are delivered directly to the site, thus avoiding additional delivery. The installation of the table (1), including the 5 accessories is fast it does not take more than 6 minutes and it is operational immediately. The cuts are taken directly on site to realize the panels (14) with or without cuts.

10 F ùPlaying price

The price of installation is obviously less expensive than a traditional solution, since the installation of panels is three to four times faster, and requires a less specialized workforce.

The present invention makes it possible to rapidly manufacture on the site of the different types of panels, consisting of tiles of different dimensions ranging from 2 cm to 33 cm and more in the same mold and put them on the spot without waiting.

The panel manufacturing system (14), assembled together with tiles (5), and a glass frame (6), glued to the glue gun (7), consists of a table (1), comprising two stops (2) fixed and arranged at right angles, comprising 25 steels (3), and (4), movable, placed vertically or horizontally, or both, thus forming a grid allowing the laying of different dimensions of tiles (5); ), from the angle of the square (2), comprising a glass weft roll (6) disposed at the bottom of the table (1) suspended by a tube (11), which passes through the roll of the frame of glass (6), and rests on two stops (9) on each side of the roll of the glass frame (6), comprising a cutter (8) allowing the cutting of the glass frame (6), and comprising boxes (10), tiles (5), arranged on the table (1) and cartridges or rods (12) for feeding the glue gun (7), comprising a stretcher (13), allow to make straight cuts 2948597 -4-

or at an angle of the tiles (5), and integrate them in the panel (14), during manufacture.

The stops (2), fixed on the table (1) are placed at an angle, they delimit the part (mold) 5 of manufacture with the steels (3) and (4), and constitute the starting base, from l angle of the stops (2), the laying of the tiles (5), for the manufacture of the panels (14).

The (mold) is limited by the length of the rou-10 water of the glass frame (6) and by the length and height of stops (2) of the table (1).

Steels (3) and (4) are composed of steels or rods of plastics, wood, or other materials, of round, square, rectangular shape according to the format, dimensions and thickness of the tiles.

Steels (3) and (4) superimposed do not exceed the thickness of the tiles (5).

The laying of different tiles (5) is done on the same (mold), adding or removing steels (3) and (4).

The steels (3) and (4), allow the laying in the same mold of the tiles (5), of different sizes and shapes of the same thickness.

The positioning of the steels (3) and (4), after removal of the panel (14), remain in approximately the same place, then allowing the quick installation of the tiles (5), the following panels (14).

The glass frame (6), constitutes the frame of the panels (14), it is placed directly on the tiles (5), pulling the end of the glass frame (6) from the roll, and after gluing it is cut to form, as the case may be, one or more panels (14). 2948597 -5-

The panel (14), is ready to be demolded immediately after gluing the glass frame (6), thanks to the glue that is taken in a few seconds and it is ready to be put away.

The gluing of the glass frame (6) on the tiles (5) is done either by a hot glue stick gun (7) with a very fast setting, or by a gun (7) with a tube of very quick-setting glue by one, two, three, or four glue lines per tile and per row, positioned vertically or horizontally, or both in part or over the entire width or length of the panel 14, depending on the size of the tile and its weight.

The panel (14) has or not tile sections (5), straight or angled to manufacture. This makes it possible to produce walls and floors with a part of panels with cuts making it possible to save time on the deadlines and a gain in price, 20 because any panel on frame allows the realization of the joints more quickly than if the tiles are laid one by one. one and even made in the day.

Presentation of the manufacturing method and realization of a panel.

Example of manufacture of a 60 x 90 cm. Panel (in 14.7 x 14.7 tiles) Fig. 1

Once the table (1) has been installed, after having passed the tube (11), inside the roll of the glass frame (6), and placed the tube (11) on the two supports (9), installed the gun (7), a cutter (8), and supplied the boxes (10) of the tiles (5), and the tile (13), three steel (3) are placed horizontally with a space between them 35 About 15 cm and put five steel (4), vertically on the steels (3), with a space of about 15 cm, thus achieving a grid. Take in one hand about 12 tiles 2948597 -6-

of the box (10), and with the other hand we put the first tile (5), in the corner of the stop (2), we put the second tile (5) against the stop (2) vertical pushing the horizontal steel (3) 5 against the first tile laid, the third tile is placed against the stop (2) vertical pushing the horizontal steel (3) against the second tile laid, we put the fourth tile against the stop (2) vertically pushing the horizontal steel (3) against the previously laid tile. This has led to the laying of the first row of tiles.

The steel row (4) is pushed against the row (4) and the four tiles are placed at once to make the second row, the steel (4) is pushed, and the third row tiles are laid.

About twelve tiles are taken up and the next three rows are laid in the same way to complete the laying of the tiles of the panel to be made.

The glass frame (6) is drawn on the tiles laid so as to completely cover them.

Take the glue gun and draw vertical or horizontal lines, one after the other, two by tile and row, ready for each end of tile.

The glue comes out of the gun leaving a line two to three millimeters wide over the entire height of the glue board and the grid of glass to the tiles.

Put the gun (7) in the same place, and take the cutter (8), and cut the canvas in the upper part of the panel.

If the glass weft roll has been cut previously to 90 cm or the length of the panel we do not have to make the vertical cut to the right of the panel, otherwise we will proceed to cut the glass fabric that exceeds the panel.

We proceed immediately to remove the panel by taking it with both hands by the two tiles at the end of the right panel, lifting it up and storing it on a tray of the same size.

By lifting the panel (14) the steels (3) and (4), remain practically at a few things ready in the same place, which allows us to directly put the tiles (5) between the steels by pushing the tile against the steel or vice versa.

We can also fold the panel in two, in this case we raise the right panel to the left in three rows and we rest on the other three rows. Then it is taken again with both hands on the right and lifted from right to left and stored in a pallet of 45 x 60 cm., On a carriage ready to be moved on the laying station, unloaded the pallet and return to the manufacturing station.

Example: During manufacture, the tiler spread the adhesive mortar on a wall of 3.40 ml to a height of 180 cm.

In this case he will lay 2 panels 5 times 60 cm wide by row horizontally, ie 3 ml., And vertically 2 times 90 cm., Ie 180 cm.

It will remain to him to pose 40 cm approximately horizon-30 talement. The tiler takes the measurements and communicates to the manufacturing worker that he needs two panels of 39 cm wide to complete the walls.

The worker who manufactures poses two rows of 35 tiles horizontally plus one horizontal steel is 30 cm and measures to reach 39 cm the cut 2948597 -8-

to achieve. The cuts will be 9 cm., And the number 6 per panel is 12 cuts of 9 cm.

He makes the 12 cuts, he puts the 6 cuts, he draws the glass frame on the square tiles, he takes the glue gun to make the collage, he cuts the glass frame and he unmounts the panel and the stock on a tray.

He then realizes the other panel and transportes ready of the tiler by recovering the cha-10 riot. In the meantime the tiler sets up the adhesive mortar in the second wall, and he then lays the two panels with a cut thus completing the laying of the first wall.

15 The worker who manufactures will have finished manufacturing work in the morning and in the afternoon he can make the joints of the panels laid the day before by the tiler, see the posted signs.

If it is necessary to make a cut in the lower part of the wall, to arrive with a whole tile at the top, the tiler indicates the cut to be made after calculation to the worker who manufactures, indicating the number of panels to be made with a cut at the bottom.

The worker who manufactures, makes the cuts and fa-brick panels, starting to lay the cuts, in this case against the stop (2) vertical posed vertically is four tiles cut, and ter-mine his panels with tiles thus realizing a panel of a height generally less than 90 cm., and according to the section.

In some cases the angles are not right and in this case the cuts will be made at an angle.

Before the installation of the panels we laser check the verticality of the angles and also during the installation of the panels. 2948597 -9-

To make cuts at an angle the square takes two ribs, the first at the bottom of the panel and the second at the top of the panel.

This allows us to lay in a straight line 6 5 tiles in the case of 90 cm high faience panels, to draw in the lower part the first side and in the upper part the second side. We draw a line between the two points and re-alise the cuts.

The angled cuts in the panels can be positioned only at the top or at the right of the panel in the manufacture.

The system is flexible and allows the manufacture of several types of panels and different sizes made in the same mold.

The average manufacturing time of the faience panel 14.7 x 14.7 type, is about 150 seconds, or 0.54 m2 or 13 m2 per hour.

The panel manufacturing system allows the demoldings to immediately glue and cut the glass frame, thanks to the very fast setting glue which is applied with the glue gun to the glass grid positioned on the tiles, and whose The glass frame is cut with a cutter in one piece or in several, depending on the type of panel to be laid, its weight and its destination.

The present invention relates to the manufacture of different panels of tiles, of different dimensions made in the same mold and ready to pose without waiting.

By tiles we mean tiles of earthenware, tiling, plates, stones, marble, slates, of the same thickness, of square, rectangular, hexagonal shape etc. 35 PRESENTATION OF FIGURES: 2948597 - 10 -
